Not that I want to unroll it, but why did it "roll" up in the first place? It seems so tightly wound compared to, like, the intestines or something. Just curious.
To save space
For a total eclipse of the heart you would need a moon shaped like a big hambone.

Moooooom, NCD is leaking again!
Look up embryological development of the heart to see why
That's even better. Two blood vessels that fuse and twist.
Why did they name the left and right atrium backwards? That seems unnecessarily confusing.
It's only backwards because you're looking at it from the outside from the front. When it's in you, the left is on your left.
I just realized I’m stupid, thank you
welcome to the club bro
Thought it was going to turn into Saddam there for a second.
Maybe it's a part of Saddam? Heart, foreskin, who knows.
Missed opportunity
Now you’ve called it
That's step f.
That's not the shape of my heart 🎶
This kills the person.
What would this shit look like if it was still pumping...
C'mon Cronenberg, get on it!
What kind of person? Lizard man with a 2-chambered heart?
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrllll!!
I think taking the heart out is the part that kills them, unless perhaps you reverse origami it while it's still attached
This heart could be easily entangled. So I don't understand this thread's OP nor this Meme.
And I am too afraid to ask.
I don't think lst people see heart and something you can uncurl.
As for the crab it's a meme older than some users here
nooo do not skissor teh crub
It always looks so sad...
Interesting, but this isn't an entire heart, is it? Only half? Or isn't a human heart? Human hearts have separate left and right pairs of chambers which pump oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood separately. Or am I mistaken?
I just assumed that they dissected through the heart to unfold it. In humans the heart is ‘compact’ and there’s no real way to unfold it without cutting through cardiac muscle but, the heart embryologically develops from a tube that folds over itself so you can theoretically ‘unfold’ it.
Considering this picture of a whole heart you are probably correct
Isn't that why there are 2 loops at the bottom? One for the left and one for the right?
Make sure to unfold and wring out your heart after each breakup, to keep the creases from setting in too much.
I just learned about this last night. Are we a hive mind?
Why does it look like a foreskin?
What happened to your foreskin?
Cause it is a tube. All Floppy Tubus do.
Who knew the heart is a penis? Blessed be
🎵 Last Christmas, I gave her my heart 🎵
Callback to our primordial tube-hearted fish origin
I wonder if a heart could still beat/function when it's unrolled in this way 🤔
No. It needs to squeeze against itself to move blood to and from chambers.
